[Spoken Intro]
I don’t want to chase you.
I don’t want to beg.
I just want the love I give...
to come back to me.
[Verse 1]
I think about you in the quiet
When the whole world slows down
I reach for my phone like maybe
Your name will come around
I miss your voice before I hear it
I miss your hands before they’re here
I miss the way you used to hold me
Like the future felt so near
I miss the talks about forever
All the plans we almost made
I miss the way our minds would meet
Like our hearts were on the same page
We talked about love, about life
About the kind of home we’d make
I thought our hearts were speaking fluent
Till the day you stepped away
Now I’m holding broken promises
From a love that's slipping away
[Pre-Chorus]
Sometimes I swear I feel you
Like you’re reaching through the line
Then I’m left here in the silence
Wondering if I’m on your mind
I don’t need perfect
I don’t need all your time
I just need to know
That your heart reaches for mine
[Chorus]
Love me
The way I love you
Want me
The way I want you
Don’t make me wonder
Don’t make me ask
Don’t leave me holding
What you won’t give back
I give you my heart
I give you my truth
But I can’t keep loving
Enough for us two
Meet me where I’m reaching
Show me you feel it too
Baby, love me
The way I love you
[Verse 2]
I give you softness when you’re tired
I give you room when you need air
I try to understand your silence
Even when it leaves me scared
I know your life gets heavy
I know you’ve got things to face
But I’m still standing in the middle
Trying to find my place
You make me feel so close sometimes
Then I don’t know where I stand
I don’t want to force your heart
I just want to hold your hand
Maybe it’s fear, maybe it’s timing
Maybe you don’t know what to do
But I’m tired of loving loudly
When all I get are whispers from you
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Sometimes I swear you need me
Then you act like you don’t
Sometimes I feel your heart there
Then you leave me alone
Don’t make me feel chosen
Only when we’re alone
If I’m yours in the quiet
Don’t leave me unnamed in the noise
Are you scared of loving me
The way I’m loving you?
I don’t need forever all at once
I just need something true
[Repeat Chorus]
[Bridge]
I didn’t love you from the surface
I loved you with my soul
Let you in so deep
You felt like home inside of me
You were sewn into my spirit
Threaded through my chest
Then you pulled away so easy
Like you didn’t leave a mess
Now I’m healing at the seams
Trying to breathe through what we had
Trying to love myself enough
Not to beg for your love back
But God, I still want you
And that’s the part that hurts
I keep reaching for the man
Who made forever sound so real
Then left me holding words
[Final Chorus]
Repeat chorus with stronger emotion, bigger electric guitar, aching harmonies
[Outro]
I don’t want to chase you
I don’t want to beg
I just want the love I give
To find its way back
I don’t need perfect
I just need true
I just want to know
You feel it too
Baby, love me
The way I love you
